Hey squeakalong, sorry, it was only a tip and I answered your question because it was obvious that you had no intention of any hi-jack. I got torched by a guy once because I asked a question that wasn't EXACTLY related to his topic. I'm overly sensitive to it now. No BS intended. If you are looking for no fumes, give the Mod-Podge a try. It can be thinned with water and is a sealer and adhesive. I think it is around $5 or $6 at a craft store. I have read where guys then used MinWax Polc, several coats and sanded. Then a auto-paint primer like Duplicolor and then a latex water based paint for the finish color.
